Data Erasure
Secure, Certified Data Wiping
Secure, Verified Data Wiping
for Reuse and Compliance
When your IT assets are destined for redeployment or resale, we ensure complete and irreversible data removal through certified software-based erasure.
Our approach combines security, compliance and sustainability. Protecting sensitive information while preserving the functionality and value of your devices.
Our Certified Data Erasure Process
We use globally recognised software tools such as Blancco, Certus, BitRaser, and KillDisk to permanently remove all data from storage devices in accordance with international standards.
Each erasure is verifiable, traceable and environmentally responsible, providing you with tamper-proof certification for every device processed.
Aligned with Global Standards
All data erasure processes comply with:
- NIST 800-88 Rev.1 and DoD 5220.22-M
- POPIA and GDPR data protection laws
- ISO 27001 environmental management standards
These standards ensure complete data sanitisation while meeting global data protection and environmental regulations.
Verification & Reporting
After every erasure, ITAD Africa issues a Certificate of Data Erasure that includes:
- Device serial number and hardware details
- Method and software used for erasure
- Verification logs, erasure statistics, and timestamps
- Digital fingerprint for authenticity
All records are linked to your asset inventory for full audit readiness and compliance assurance.
ITAD Frequently asked questions.
Certified data erasure protects organisations from data breaches while supporting sustainability. These FAQs address the most common client questions.
What makes certified data erasure different from regular deletion?
Certified data erasure uses specialised software that overwrites every bit of data multiple times, making recovery impossible. Unlike a simple delete or format, it meets NIST 800-88 and DoD 5220.22-M standards, guaranteeing complete data sanitisation.
